Repair Shop Destroys Xbox & Won't Refund Customer - Let's Fix It - The seller said after being ripped off by a repair shop they tried to fix this Xbox Series X themselves but couldn't get it working again. So they sent it to me to see if I could fix it. It needs an HDMI port and retimer chip for sure and likely some other work.

What people need to do against these ripoff repair shops is to take them to small claims court. My friend had the similar thing happen to his launch PS3. They took his launch edition 60gb and sent him back a broken 3rd generation non backwards compatible model. They denied it body even refused to refund the "repair" cost. He took them to small claims and was given judgment of the original retail cost and an extra $500 punitive.

Id agree but with microsoft and xboxs impact on the industry over years in mind, xbox fans should be robbed and ripped off. They literally deserve it. They support a company that thinks discs should be essentially proof of purchase and not a media format. Literally all xbox fans deserve to be robbed because they are robbing us so in principle yoire right, but reality youre wrong

I'm guessing they "fixed" the hdmi port, but didn't check to see if all the points were firmly connected. Since it wouldn't work due to the hdmi port not being on right, they tried replacing the retimer chip. When that didn't work, they took back the new retimer chip, and never bothered putting the old retimer back on since it's "broken" anyways. They then gave it back to the customer saying it's not repairable.

​@@disguiseddv8ant486 No the shop should be investigated. Regardless of what the customer did the final fix was trivial. Worst case scenario the customer left the machine with no thermal on the CPU, removed the timing chip, and did a pore job putting in a new HDMI port. Then what did the Shop actually do to fix the machine? They probably did the work on the HDMI port, tried replacing the timing chip, and put thermal on the CPU. Still could not get it to work so they removed there replacement timing chip and sent it back to the customer. Customer got it back. Took it apart and could not see anything they were comfortable working on so put it back together without thermal on CPU (because why bother) and sent it in for the video. And that's without even considering the missing pads.

as a former employee at a sketchy repair shop (that I quit because they were sketchy), they probably told the customer it wasn't repairable in hopes they would just leave the console and then the store could either use the parts for other consoles, fix it and sell it, or an employee wanted the console. i saw it FAR too often happen just like that for things being repaired and the owner wanted

I soldered back the lines, tried to clean some corrosion with what I have and else... Igot really happy even though the screen there are some horizontal lines missing but at least it's booting up! but there is the problem, there is dirt inside the screen! Yes really inside like behinde the polarizer and I think glass. So what should I do to clean the screen? Should I take it apart?? Hoping you have a nice day.

A question. Why not make a HDMI-port IN connected to a piece of circuitboard with testpads for all the leads? Then you can acctually test between the furthest solder point all the way beyond the acctual port. If it's a nice idea and such thing does not exist yet, your welcome to make and sell them. I suggest to call them WGports. ;)

So, I am a new viewer and I know nothing about soldering but how is it that the solder on your probe only sticks to the metal on the chip and not the plastic surface on the outside of the chip? Is it because of the Flux? Also, these videos are super satisfying to watch.
@Tronicsfix
@Tronicsfix 9 месяцев назад
That's the beauty of solder. It doesn't stick to things like plastic. It wants to stick to other solder. The flux is there to help the solder flow and keep the solder joint clean.

I sent in for warranty repair and they informed me it had been “internally modded” I don’t even know how to take an Xbox apart and wouldn’t know what to do if I did get it open. I bought it from Walmart and put it on a wall mount the same day and only took it down for the first time to send to Microsoft. When I called he said the technician took pictures of the “mod” so I ask for them I wanted to post them so someone such as yourself could tell me what’s going on but he claimed it was a “security concern” 😂 they returned it without fixing it. Any ideas what could be the issue and more importantly what could make them think it was modded? Thanks for your videos they are very entertaining

As someone who works for a repair shop, the fact they may have "stolen" the retimer chip pokes holes in this theory, but it's possible the specific repair shop they went to didn't have a soldering tech/team and they refused it/said it was unrepairable because they didn't have the resources to do it. Since we don't know the whole story, we can't say for sure, but I know for my store, we do turn away some solder jobs cus we just can't do them, especially micro soldering

@@LiEnby but that's the thing, what if it was knocked off and they tried to cover their own ass somehow and the seller was upset, or how are we to know the seller didn't mess it up themselves? 😂 I know we've only got the seller's story to go off of and it's likely the shop did take or otherwise do something to the chip, but I'm just keeping an open mind for a hypothetical

This reminds me of the time my local game store tried to fix my used PS2 when I was a teen. The disc drive wasn't working right. About a month later, my mom and I went to check how it was going, but they weren't done with it somehow. We could see in the back they had it fully apart, almost like they might've been using its parts for a different PS2 or something. Wasn't sure, but it still seemed fishy. Regardless, it was a MONTH waiting for some good news, and even we knew it shouldn't have taken so long for a disc drive repair. We even gave them our number to keep us updated, but they never called. If I knew you existed then, I would've gladly sent it to you, or have IFixIt teach me how. I currently have the Slim PS2 with a disc lid that can only shut (and work) if something slightly heavy's on top of it, like a game case. Ugh. 😑 On the plus side, your vids got me into trying to fix things, like my old HP laptop and my old Yogabook. Eh, at least I tried. 😅

That's pretty fixable. There's a sensor by the power button, and one to the left/rear of the optical drive. Very common. Usually the rest one fails and needs cleaning or replacing.

9:09 I've never seen a hot air station that can go as high as 1100 degrees, I thought that sort of heat melted most materials? IIRC most hot air stations tend to be set to 400 or 450 degrees to remove/replace components?

I would assume he is talking farenheit rather than celcius - some machines can be switched between the two so the machine shows the temperature in the scale you are used to. Mine goes up to 600 degrees C, which is approx 1150 degrees farenheit

hi, my nintendo ds lite sometimes freezes and I have to restart it and loose the progress since the last saving. Sometimes it happens when I move the upper part of the screen, sometimes it happens with no apparent cause. I think it's something fixable since it works great but I don't know what to look for. Any idea?

So on whatnot you said the PS5 sold but the xbox and the switch had high bids. Does that mean there was a minimum bid that no one hit and they didn't sell?
@Tronicsfix
@Tronicsfix 9 месяцев назад
I don't put minimum bids on anything. The only things that didn't sell last time were from people who didn't pay for them. I'm only allowing verified buyers bid during my future auctions so that shouldn't happen.

I know exactly how they feel. I took my Kurzweil piano electronics to a local parts shack. It broke shortly after it was supposedly repaired.

Just throwing it out there. Ever come across an issue with Xbox one X just turning off without any warnings or messages? I've swapped, hdd, powersupply, powercord, thermalpaste (the perfect amount) and added a external cooling unit so it's impossible for it to have an overheat issue. Offline update doesn't even complete anymore either. So I'm leaning towards the motherboard having an issue. Got any tips or is it the recycling station for it?

How do people keep breaking hdmi ports? It looks like a common problem but I have my ps5 connected and never unplug or remove it?

i wonder what a pristine, like-new Sega Game Gear is worth today... I remember babying that thing back in the early 90s cuz I loved it. My dad just took it from my room one day while I was at school and gave it away (he also gave away my only electric guitar.. >:( ) I had all the attachments and battery packs and about 20 games.... I remember liking Shinobi a lot back then.
